Pan-Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Golden pan-seared chicken breast seasoned with aromatic herbs served alongside tender roasted asparagus and fluffy quinoa for a bright and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1 cup asparagus spears
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp lemon juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
On a large baking sheet, toss the asparagus spears with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and a portion of the sea salt and black pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until they are tender-crisp and slightly charred.
While the asparagus roasts, season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the garlic powder, dried oregano, and the remaining sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the exterior is golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a small saucepan or microwave until heated through.
Serve the chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and quinoa, finishing with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice over the chicken.
